    Good trim reads?

    Well, some planes have no trim, some only elevator (German planes). That might be one thing you're encountering?

    Good trim reads?

    What works for me is, after take off, trimming rudder first (on a slider/rotary) till the ball stays in the middle, then trim the elevator (on a slider/rotary). Gain some speed and navigate till you are approaching or have reached cruising speed. You set the throttle to 90% and fly level, trim...

    Total Flight Time

    Played AotP mostly, myself. AoE didn't do too well on my system back then. Chuck Yeager Air Combat was great though, it gave you a sence of altitude, the view was slightly fish-eyed and you learned to read the envelope graph. I skipped every sim between those and IL2. There was another game back...

    Mods?

    I just read that Avala's Planeshine Mod is not in UI1.1, so that would need installing too. Search for "Planeshine".

    Mods?

    Well, I have no experience with installing mods and no clue how you would go about it with your install. If I were you, I would rename your IL2 install (If that's not already the case) and make a fresh install of IL2 + 4.08 + UI1.1 + UI patch. You could look at the structure of the UI mod...

    Mods?

    The evil is in the number of mods. :D If you're going UI, you'll need: "Fresh" install of IL2:1946 Patch 4.08 UI 1.1 Patch UI 1.1.1 AFAIK you will need to apply the latest "AC Installer" each time you install an aircraft. Latest at the time of this post is 3.6 and it can be found in a...

    IL2 Forgotten Battles Screenshots...

    Yup, I posted above that it would be smoother if he posted them as JPG, not the BMPs.

    IL2 Forgotten Battles Screenshots...

    I noticed you posted BMP's. In today's age of broadband that isn't a big file to DL, but JPG or PNG files are much smaller and thus load much faster. If your upload speed is low, the difference in time it takes to upload will be huge. :) Oh, right... screenshot thread. Checking the positions...

    Total Flight Time

    I also posted this over on AAA: I just had a look at the eventlog.lst [20:06:58] Cpt_Sisko:SpitfireMkIX25lbs(0) seat occupied by Cpt_Sisko at 22727.262 4406.25 [snip] [20:08:40] Mission END As one can see, it shouldn't be too difficult to filter out only the lines with "your name" and...

    Besides the above, running in OpenGL (In game under "Hardware Setup"->"Video Modes") and from that getting the option to run "Landscape Detail" in "perfect" mode (In game under "Hardware Setup"->"Video Options"). Can't think of any others ATM.

    Skins...

    From a quick look at the files, these TGA textures are stored in the \ARMS\ folder. So if an aircraft uses a special bomb (like the B29_Silver_Plate), you'll find sub-folders in that aircraft's directory in \3DO\Arms\ with the bomb's name. In that subfolder (i.e...
